Sunny, 70-degree days are doing a lot to get the adrenaline flowing for fishermen.
While we are not finished with cold fronts yet, the magnitude will not be as strong as it has been.
Fishing is picking up where it left off before the oil spill, and large black drum are being reported in good numbers at the ends of both jetties.
The drum hole off the Texas City Dike is living up to its reputation as well.
It appears that we are experiencing a delay in the black drum run as anticipated. The beach water is warming, and the big uglies are roaming the surf again.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported black drum being taken by his customers along with whiting, bull reds and sheepshead. Belleau reported the water to be in good shape Monday, although a bit sandy.
Dr. Russell Taylor of Jacksonville and his grandson Mark Hill fished the Gulf side of the South Jetty on Saturday and found black drum, bull reds and sharks around the site of the old light house. Crab, cut mullet and Spanish sardines were the baits.
Fred Watkins reported some heavy drum being caught near the famous drum hole at the end of the Texas City Dike. The water was choppy Sunday; however, the drum were hitting.
Ramsey Ratcliff and his family were practicing for Saturday’s drum tournament near the North Jetty boat cut and ended up with no drum; however, two bull reds were worth the trip. Both fish hit broken crab and were released.
Sunday, the party boat New Buccaneer made an offshore trip 30 miles out where Capt. Smitty Smith placed his 78 guests into some good action.
Their catch included 60 gulf trout, nine vermilions, six gray snapper along with lane snapper, triggerfish, tomtate, black drum and sheepshead.
The party boat Cavalier fished the bay and returned to dock with red fish and gafftop on both the morning and afternoon trips.
